But there is no constructor needed to confine a program. So confinement
is not a property of the constructor at all, now.
As I understand it, the constructor serves as a trusted "mediator", that
allows to check the confinedness without constructing the process (in
non-translucent designs), that is, to run a program that is untrusted
without risking leakage, and without inspecting it.
